      Correcting the Wi-Fi Channel Range

      Generally it works without intervention. Forcing reconnection using the on-screen UI may sometimes be necessary: presumably, parameters set with iwpriv... sit in some driver data store that survives reconnections. Also, the hacks that are supposed to restore the last connection even after an...

      Correcting the Wi-Fi Channel Range

      The current version of the wifi-helper package tries to fix all the driver parameters to avoid manual intervention but I believe it isn't guaranteed to be used, at least initially, because the Humax blob may succeed in making the connection first.

      Correcting the Wi-Fi Channel Range

      The driver settings file is in /etc/ which is RO storage. You can't directly modify this file, unlike files in the RO filesystem, like /etc/resolv.conf, that were configured as links to RW storage (eg /var/lib/humaxtv) when the firmware was created. As I explained in the old post about this...

      Power Off Timer in Standby = boot to Half-Awake (and stay there)

      My idea, if it was one, was that we could intercept any Standby command while running and turn it into a one-off PowerOff timer set to as close to now as possible, whereas a Standby command when not running would proceed as normal.

      Freshly formatted disk and fixdisk finds things to grumble about

      The Humax binary that does the on-screen disk format calls functions from /usr/lib/libext2fs.so.2 (actually .2.4), so they basically implemented their own mke2fs. One can imagine how horlickingly well that went: well enough not to block shipping, but no better. The same library is invoked...

      Linux/Bash(?) help please

      If what you showed above worked before, then save this #!/bin/sh cd /mod/webif patch -p1 < /mod/tmp/webif-matthew-combined.patch to a file in /mod, make it executable as you showed and then run it when necessary. With the GNU patch you can wrap in the cd and also ask for backups of any changed...

      Linux/Bash(?) help please

      So Style-only changes can be added to /mod/webif/html/css/EXTRA.css, which won't be updated. But if the affected page, either its structure or its styles, is significantly modified in a new version the EXTRA styles may become ineffective or actually degrade the display. Really skilled...

      Power Off Timer in Standby = boot to Half-Awake (and stay there)

      If the ir package allowed remapping the Power button, might that be a way of avoiding this problem with manual Standby (in the other forum, obvs)?

      Two Problems While Trialling CF 1.03.12 on HDR-Fox T2

      I expect the total number CF installations to be significantly larger, if even a keen user like myself has not found RS necessary.

      Usernname & Password for Web Interface?

      /mod is a symlink in the RO filesystem /. /mod/* expands in the shell to a list of the files and directories in the directory linked from /mod, whose filesystem is RW. Either rm -r /mod/* (leaves the empty mod directory, probably a good thing) or rm -r $(realpath /mod), but the realpath...

      Linux/Bash(?) help please

      If this patch is uncontroversial there's no reason not to include it in the delivered package, or massage it so that it isn't controversial. Otherwise you have to observe when the affected files have been updated and apply the patch yourself, in a telnet or WebShell terminal session. Although...

      Developers' corner

      Here's Steve's description of the $() syntax with a link to some discussion of possible expr syntax shortcuts for real TCL, including the announcement of $(). $[] might have been more acceptable and just as easy to add.

      Beta My little projects

      Your typical ISP mail account may not be so tricky as G-not-reallly-mail, especially when the connection is over the ISP connection. For today's TLS, sSMTP probably needs to be rebuilt against the latest OpenSSL, as was done with wget (eg).

      Beta My little projects

      Even if you don't have a mail server, it seems like sSMTP can manage if you set its config file like this GMail example: root=myemailaddress@gmail.com mailhub=smtp.gmail.com:587 AuthUser=mygmailusername AuthPass=mypassword UseSTARTTLS=YES Since you'd be sending the email through your known...

      Apparently I already exhausted all the ideas I had about the unsynced subtitles issue (3). When the latest or next speech-to-subtitle system using some generative "AI" tech turns out to be prone to rewrite the dialogue as it goes along, it won't matter anyway. Regarding (4), that's eminently...

      Developers' corner

      Apparently the expression evaluator doesn't know about $(...), whether accidentally or by design. I guess there is some processing to parse $(...) in the top level of Jim parsing that is not available when an expression is parsed. You might compare it with a C preprocessor macro.

      Yes, I think so. The Jim manual says that (depending on build options) REs can be POSIX Extended or conform to a subset of Perl/Python/TCL Advanced REs. In the latter case (?:pattern) brackets and matches the pattern like (pattern) but without capturing the match for pattern. The additional...
